Upton House, Newham, Manor house in West Ham, England
The two-story brick structure on Upton Lane featured nine bays with stucco facing and contained early 18th-century interior panels throughout its rooms.
Built in 1731, Upton House gained recognition as the birthplace of Joseph Lister in 1827, who revolutionized surgical practices through antiseptic methods.
The residence attracted Quaker families during the early 1800s, including the Listers and later the Gurneys, who maintained substantial influence in West Ham.
The property stood at the intersection of Lancaster Road and Upton Lane until 1968, when demolition made way for Joseph Lister Court residential complex.
The kitchen contained a preserved wooden beam dating from the 15th or 16th century, indicating construction elements from an earlier structure.
